Dysphonia?

I was seen by an ENT doc after a CT scan of my throat and upper airways revealed a slightly enlarged thyroid. She sent me for another CT focusing on the larynx area and also had me get a videostroboscopy. It tuns out the thyroid needs no further action at this time but my vocal cords close partially when I exhale. The ENT doc,speech therapist and my pulm conferred and told me that I have vocal cord dysphonia. They said that it's probably neurological and there's nothing they can do.

I began wondering if maybe I didn't have asthma at all. But then I read that if it's only vocal cord problems then the asthma rescue drugs would be ineffective and maybe irritate things further. In my case, however, the rescue meds have been very effective and my maintenance drug has greatly decreased my hyper reactivity so I suspect that I have both. I guess I'll wait awhle before I get rid of my inhalors and nebulizer...at least until I see the pulmonologist again.

It's all a little confusing.
